As expected, Brooks Koepka has officially withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner will stay connected to the competing circuit but needs more family time. This was a mutual agreement according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil’s official statement. Koepka is known as a competitor who thrives on high-level competition, which he found limited in LIV. He had originally joined LIV in 2022 amid injury concerns and to secure a solid retirement fund, so skipping his final contracted season is not surprising, though questions remain about contractual buyouts and his ownership of the LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation is rife about where Koepka will play next – on the DP World Tour, where he would be immediately eligible, possibly with a penalty? Or on the PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension after his last LIV start, following the downgrading of previous lifetime bans. According to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership and rejoin the players’ circle.
